Don't tell me that I sound like an angel, or that I should be on American Idol. Although I'm sure your intentions are pure, I will probably find these insulting.

It's pretty simple: I'm a musician. I sing, write and play. What usually comes out is an oddly refreshing mixture of folk, jazz, and discombobulation.
I'm currently studying music at Mott College, where I learn about it textually and pretend that I know how to sing in Italian. One of these days I'm going to transfer to a university. Then I can be one of those cool musicians who actually have a degree.
In the meantime, I continue to surprise, disappoint, and please myself with the words and notes, strings and keys that I manage to fenangle and tangle and weave together. If you want to know what I mean, take a listen yourself.

Below are a couple of videos taken of me by my good fellow musician friend Kevin Tyler. For more videos of me and him, go here: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=schroeder3210
Don McLean's Starry Night at Border's open mic in Flint in August 2008.

Just for fun...two of my siblings and I playing some blues around the campfire in the UP in May 2007.
Huge Success Everyone! Thank you to all the sponsors, the venue, all the hard working staff and volunteers, all the bands and crew, all the vendors and all the guests. We all did our best to throw the best show possible. Please know that we appreciate all the help we have received.

Let us enjoy the rest of the summer and we will start talking about next year's Juneboreee! in the winter time. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us here!
Hey I like your song "More Blues Than Billie". It's completely original. It'd be pretty cool if you checked out my song. It's a very rough demo, but I'll have a better version posted later, along with other tracks. Thanks :)

[live music + art + sandwiches + ugly sweater exchange] = good times
Hope to see you there in Saginaw this Saturday, April 18th [gate opens 6pm, show begins 7pm]
Thats why you need to split, head out to california, get get a crazy group of musicians and rent a beachhouse and turn it into a recording studio, jam all day, chill in the sun.....
Hey Hannah, I planned on being at your show this Saturday but like Cory, I am playing as well. I might try and make it out for like the first hour. Hope all goes well. Patrick.
You sounded great the other day. It was good to hear some of your original tunes instead of just covers. Unfortunately, I can't make the release show (playing that night). I hope to catch you playing again soon...or better yet set up a show with you. all the best this Saturday. much peace.
Hey whats up Hannah, congrats on the Album. How is Flint? Columbia is pretty sweet. It has it's ups and downs but Chicago kicks ass. You would do really well here. Columbia's Jazz vocal program is first rate..I've seen a few good student Jazz concerts and they play some awesome music. I'm trying to come home next weekend to see the Fam...If I do I'll come check out your show..Peace.
